In  presenting  "Who's  Who  in  South  Carolina,  the  author  desires 
to  thank  Alexander  S.  Salley,  State  Historical  Commissioner,  and 
other  men  who  have  rendered  much  valuable  information  in  the 
matter  of  suggesting  men  whose  names  are  worthy  of  perpetuation. 

Here  are  epitomized  the  storieg  of  opportunity  grandly  improved 
by  hundreds  of  men  who  have  helped  to  shape  the  conditions  of 
today  in  South  Carolina  thought  and  action  and  who  are  bearing 
an  important  share  in  fashioning  the  still  more  grand  Tomorrow 
of  our  State. 

The  work  of  selecting  the  names  and  procuring  biographical 
material  has  been  prosecuted  with  the  utmost  zeal  and  care;  but, 
while  the  results  have  been  gratifying,  it  is  true  that  there  are 
names  that  should  be  included  that  are  absent.  In  a  State  as 
large  as  ours  even  approximate  success  in  the  judicious  selection 
of  a  certain  class  of  distinguished  names  is  a  difficult  task;  and, 
after  they  are  selected,  appropriate  data  in  regard  to  them  are  not 
always  procurable.  Therefore,  even  with  the  utmost  effort,  there 
is  an  unrecorded  remnant. 

One  of  the  chief  purposes  of  this  book  is  to  place  before  the 
students  of  this  State  the  achievements  of  the  successful  men  of 
this  State  dn  the  hopes  that  their  examples  may  create  an  interest 
and  arouse  a  spirit  of  emulative  homage  which  cannot  fail  to  prove 
of  great  practical  benefit  to  the  pupil  in  after  life. 

A  close  examination  of  the  sketches  in  this  volume  disclose  many 
extraordinary  examples  of  industry  which  are  overlooked  in  a  cur- 
sory reading,  hut  which,  nevertheless,  are  full  of  valuable  sugges- 
tions for  the  thoughtful  mind.  Hundreds  of  activities  are  chron- 
icled which  might  be  emulated  with  profit,  not  only  by  the  youth 
of  the  State,  but  by  all  classes.
